Latest news and stories about election candidate in Portugal for expats and residents.
The candidate backed by Livre says being recognised for his ideas is a source of pride.
Jorge Pinto said he might pull out (withdraw his candidacy) but appealed for left-wing parties and supporters to unite to avoid splitting the vote.
The candidate emphasised that, given his professional background, he may have skills his opponents lack.
This stance follows a debate broadcast on Antena 1, Renascença, TSF and Observador, in which Jorge Pinto — unlike Catarina Martins and António Filipe — did not categorically say whether he intended to withdraw by 18 January.
With just over the 7,500 signatures required, the leader of the Social Liberal Party and a former member of Iniciativa Liberal says the ideas of 'social liberalism' are the solution for Portugal.
